Oscar Wilde’s most famous play, as performed by Sir John Gielgud and Dame Edith Evans . I hope more of these appear, they are hugely enjoyable. The CD is part of an EMI Classics collection, but Spotify doesn’t show them in a label search :( Ideas anyone?

You may remember there was a movie adaptation (IMDB link) years ago, played by Colin Firth, Rupert Everett, Frances O’Connor, Reese Witherspoon, Judy Dench and Tom Wilkinson (what a cast!), Spotify has its OST by Charlie Mole, pay atention to Algernon/Jack – Everett/Firth duet:
